Default RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build

ORIGINAL: CTDavies

Don, I have the huge Jane's Fighting Aircraft of World War 1 which is basically a reprint of several Flight articles, which also has a lot on the Benz 230 HP Engine including scale (dimensioned!) drawings. I'm not sure if this is the one you're looking at, but at a quick glance it seems to be the same. The cylinders were certainly NOT offset. I have a big presentation this afternoon, so can't scan the drawings for you right now, maybe later this eveninig. Chris
Now I'm really confused! The info Flying Fox forwarded have me convinced the engines have cylinders offset towards the cam shaft to the amount of 10mm asdimensioned on one of the drawings. This certainly seems deliberate and not an artifact of some reproduction process.
